Course titles and description (CTD) documents provide brief descriptions of kindergarten, elementary, middle level and high school curricular areas. These descriptions will assist schools in communicating, in a broad context, the content of programs and courses. Code numbers listed before each program/course title and description are to be used for Indiana Department of Education data reporting.
The newest and most recent editions of the CTD documents are located in the first dropdown section, below. Ancillary guidance materials that can help inform decisions regarding course offerings are available in the Additional Course-Related Guidance section. All other available CTD documents and related memos and guidance documents are located in the Archive section.

Schools can submit a nonstandard course waiver to offer courses that are not found in the current Course Titles and Descriptions (CTD). Schools must receive IDOE approval of their nonstandard course waiver prior to offering a nonstandard course or awarding credit for a nonstandard course. IDOE’s Nonstandard Course Waiver Request Form is located below. Initial nonstandard course waiver requests should be submitted five (5) months prior to the planned implementation date. Requests to enact a major modification in operation of a school, or school corporation, should be submitted eight (8) months prior to the planned implementation. Request for amendments to, or extensions of, a previous approval should be submitted three (3) months prior to the planned implementation.
